Last week, the Indian government allowed India to play in multinational tournaments with Pakistan in the new sports policy. It said that Indian athletes and teams will be allowed to participate in international events that also feature Pakistani teams or players. However, India will not participate in any tournaments held in Pakistan, as well as there will be no bilateral series or matches between the two countries.
